Hi all--

I am contemplating an upgrade from Omniback v3.50 to Data Protector v5.0.
Reading through the installation guide, it seems that I cannot do a direct
upgrade from 3.5 to 5.0. I have an HP-UX cell manager, mixed HP-UX and
Windows NT/2000 clients, and use the Windows GUI primarily. A few questions:

1) Is the 3.5 to 3.51 is an available/easy upgrade that I can do so that I
can upgrade directly to 5.0? The manual says to upgrade to 4.10 first. If I
do that, I might as well stay at 4.10.

2) Are there any clear benefits of upgrading all the way to v5.0 rather than
stopping at v4.10? I know 3.5 buggy, so I definitely plan on upgrading to a
point, but I don't intend to change my backup configuration much--i.e. I'm
not sure I'll be using the backup to disks features, etc. of v5.0.

3) Any other comments or gotchas are appreciated.

I will post a summary.

TIA,
Janet
